You're stranded on a desert island and....

spacecoyote

...you can only have 5 albums to survive on for the rest of your life (and of course your little music system has an everlasting battery, and isn't clogged with sand). What 5 albums would you take?

I'd go with:

Prince - Purple Rain
Michael Jackson - Off the Wall
Maxwell - Urban Hang Suite (incase there happens to be a lady washed ashore)
Mos Def - Black On Both Sides
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Ultimate Collection.

Its more difficult to decide than i would have thought!
